(USA Today) - This time the playoff winner will have to do without the help of their fans.

Or a fan.

Jeffrey Maier became a well-known 12-year-old during the 1996 ALCS at Yankee Stadium when he reached out and touched a fly ball that Orioles outfielder Tony Tarasco seemed to be positioned under for the catch.

The ball, hit by Derek Jeter, was ruled a home run and the Yankees went on to win the game.
